Stems with stolons lateral on primary and secondary stems and branches. Leaves with margins recurved from base to apex; distal medial laminal cell-walls strongly sinuate. Sexual condition paroicous.


Phenology: Capsules mature spring.
Habitat: Shaded or exposed acidic cliffs, boulders, rock, igneous rock faces, shaded ravines, with Arctostaphylos in Pinus and Quercus woodlands
Elevation: moderate to high elevations (1500-2000 m)
